    摘要: In one aspect, a method for generating higher resolution volumetric image data from lower resolution volumetric image data includes receiving volumetric image data of a scanned subject, wherein the volumetric image data includes data representing a periodically moving structure of interest of the scanned subject, and wherein the volumetric image data covers multiple motion cycles of the periodically moving structure of interest. The method further includes estimating inter-image motion between neighboring images of the received volumetric image data. The method further includes registering the received volumetric image data based at least on the estimated inter-image motion. The method further includes generating the higher resolution volumetric image data based on the registered volumetric image data, a super resolution post-processing algorithm, and a point spread function of an imaging system that generated the volumetric image data. The higher resolution volumetric image data has an image resolution that is greater than the lower resolution volumetric image data.

    摘要: A method includes obtaining a boundary condition estimate. The boundary condition estimate includes at least an estimated outlet resistance of a vessel with a stenosis. The method further includes correcting the boundary condition estimate based on a severity of the stenosis, thereby creating a corrected boundary condition. The method further includes determining an FFR index based on the corrected boundary condition. The method further includes displaying the FFR index. A computing system includes a computer readable storage medium with instructions that iteratively determine at least an FFR index based on a severity of a stenosis of a vessel. The computing system further includes a computer processor that processes the instructions and generates the FFR index based on the severity of the stenosis of the vessel.

    摘要: A method for improving image quality of image data includes analyzing, for each of a plurality of voxels of image data, a set of entries of a dictionary, wherein an entry represents a mapping between a lower resolution patch of voxels and a corresponding higher resolution patch of voxel or a local neighborhood around a voxel, deriving, for each of the plurality of voxels, a subspace based on the analysis, wherein the subspace is for one of the mapping or the local neighborhood, and restoring target image data based on the subspaces, wherein the target image data is image data with higher image resolution or reduced image noise.

    摘要: A method includes estimating structure models for a voxel(s) of a spectral image based on a noise model, fitting structure models to a 3D neighborhood about the voxel(s), selecting one of the structure models for the voxel(s) based on the fittings and predetermined model selection criteria, and de-noising the voxel(s) based on the selected structure model, producing a set of de-noised spectral images. Another method includes generating a virtual contrast enhanced intermediate image for each energy image of a set of spectral images corresponding to different energy ranges based on de-noised spectral images, decomposed de-noised spectral images, an iodine map, and a contrast enhancement factor; and generating final virtual contrast enhanced images by incorporating a simulated partial volume effect with the intermediate virtual contrast enhanced images. Also described herein are approaches for generating a virtual non-contrasted image, a bone and calcification segmentation map, and an iodine map for multi-energy imaging studies.

    摘要: A method and system for dual energy CT image reconstruction are provided. In one aspect, a fast kVp switching x-ray source is used during an imaging scan to produce a low energy x-ray beam for L consecutive projection angles, and then to produce a high energy x-ray beam for H consecutive projection angles, wherein L is substantially less than H. Various methods are provided for estimating the resulting undersampled data in the low energy projection data set and the high energy projection data set. The missing low energy projection data may be estimated from the known high energy projection data using any one of several disclosed structural propagation embodiments.
